**NAB 2013: The Future of Creative Technology**

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention, also known as NAB Show, is one of the largest and most influential events for creative professionals in the technology industry. This year's show did not disappoint, with several companies showcasing their latest and greatest products.

**Panasonic 4K Media Player**

One of the first exhibits we visited was Panasonic's new 4K media player, which will be priced at $699 later this year. The company is expanding its offerings in the home entertainment space, and this new device promises to deliver high-quality 4K content with ease. When you're hungry for even more resolution, Red had a clean room on the show floor where they were upgrading owners of the Red Epic to their new 6K Dragon sensor. This upgrade offers even greater image quality than before, making it ideal for professionals who require the highest level of resolution.

**Phantom Flex 4K Camera**

Red also showcased their Phantom Flex 4K camera, which can shoot at an incredible 1,000 frames per second of 4K footage. This makes it perfect for capturing high-speed action sequences or creating slow-motion effects. The camera is currently available in a prototype form, but expect to see it hit the market soon. With its 64GB capacity and ability to capture up to 5 seconds of footage at 1,000 frames per second, this camera is sure to be a hit among professionals.

**The Miro Camera**

In addition to the Phantom Flex 4K camera, Red also introduced their new Miro camera, which can shoot at an impressive 1500 frames per second in HD resolution. This makes it perfect for capturing high-speed action sequences or creating slow-motion effects. The Miro camera is smaller and more portable than its predecessor, making it ideal for use on location.

**Free Fly Camera Stabilization System**

One of the most exciting exhibits at NAB this year was Free Fly's camera stabilization system, which uses digitally controlled gyroscopes to provide smooth and stable footage. This system can be used with a digital SLR or lightweight cameras, making it perfect for capturing high-quality footage without breaking the bank.

**SteadyCam Curve**

Free Fly also showcased their SteadyCam Curve motion stabilization device for GoPro cameras. This small device is designed to make it easier for professionals to capture smooth and stable footage on location. With its compact size and ease of use, this device is sure to become a popular tool among filmmakers.

**Tertera's Bond 2**

Another company making waves at NAB was Tertera, which introduced their new device that converts your camera footage into H.264 video and streams it over the Internet via USB. This means you can send your footage directly from your camera to servers and then share it on the air or with clients. The Bond 2 is a small box that costs around $4,000 and can be used with various sticks from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.

**NAB Show: A Platform for Creative Professionals**

The NAB show is more than just an event – it's a platform for creative professionals to showcase their latest tools and technologies. With so many exciting new products on display, it's no wonder that the Internet has been buzzing with excitement about this year's event. Whether you're a filmmaker, cinematographer, or simply someone who appreciates the latest technology, NAB is the perfect place to explore the future of creative expression.

**Opening Up New Possibilities**

One of the most exciting aspects of NAB is how it's pushing the boundaries of what's possible with creative technology. From camera stabilization systems that make it easier to capture smooth footage on location, to devices that allow you to send your footage directly from your camera to servers and share it online – there are countless ways in which this technology is opening up new possibilities for filmmakers and content creators.

**The Real Payoff**

While the gear itself may be exciting, the real payoff of these technologies lies in what they enable professionals to do with them. With the right tools, directors and cinematographers can create footage that's never been seen before – smooth, stable, and stunningly beautiful. Whether you're capturing high-speed action sequences or creating slow-motion effects, these technologies have the potential to elevate your work to new heights.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, NAB 2013 was an exciting event that showcased some of the latest and greatest creative technology on the market. From Panasonic's 4K media player to Red's Phantom Flex 4K camera and Tertera's Bond 2 device, there were countless products and innovations on display.

at home and 4K content isn't just hitting theaters it's shaping up to be the latest front in the battle for the living room the industry is changing the one place that's most evident is right here in Las Vegas Nevada this is where the National Association of broadcasters holds its annual trade show it's a place where the people making tomorrow's tools can meet up with a creative individual that will end up using them this is Nab 2013 here on the show floor there's big name companies like red Canon and Sony as well as a lot of smaller vendors every type of film making equipment imaginable is here there's one constant theme 4K it's here and in a big way Sony which has been pushing the industry towards 4K capture and distribution showed off two new prototype cameras for video and taking Stills one looked like the futuristic DSLR but the other borrowed a lot of design cues from Red's liner products the company also priced its home 4K media player which will be priced at $699 later this year and when if you're hungry for even more resolution red had a clean room on the show floor where was upgrading owners of the Red Epic to its new 6K Dragon sensor now if you know the name Phantom you know it's all about slow motion and this is the phom Flex 4k camera it can shoot 1,000 frames per second of 4K footage this here is a prototype it start working about 4 weeks ago uh with a 64 gig capacity there's a number of different capacities you can get you can shoot about 5 Seconds of footage what's that like in playback and a th000 frames per second that's 3 and 1/2 minutes of footage now price on this the be body itself is going to be about $100,000 but a full kit can be about 140 so obviously this a professional level gear something you're not going to be basically buying for yourself and now you know it's interesting you know this right here is the original Phantom Flex that has 2500 frames per second at HD resolution but technology has been evolving so quickly they

capture fantastic High frame rate photography and uh and I want one I want all of them as technology has advanced it's enabled professional level Hardware to get both smaller and more portable cameras can go places they've never been able to go before but making that footage look smooth and steady presents its own set of challenges we're here at free fly Booth looking at the movie This has taken uh the Internet by storm the last few weeks it's a camera stabilization system uses digitally controlled gyroscopes other electronics you can basically put your uh your digital SLR in here other
